It's not enough that #trans people are welcome with you. The transphobes have to be *unwelcome*.

These people must be challenged, corrected and shunned for what they say and do. It doesn't matter to me if they're your co-workers, friends or even family.

You've noticed the hate out there, right? It's rampant and only getting worse.

If you want to be my ally, please realize that I need someone willing to be my advocate. Not just someone to provide me shelter.

Thank you. 🏳️‍⚧️💖

As a general rule, the state should over-supply services. There should be slack in the system almost all the time. Relaxed GPs with lots of time to talk to their patients. So many teachers that the main trouble is finding rooms for them all.

Not only does this see a better quality of service mostly, but it also cushions the system in the event of an unexpected shock.

If you have just enough professionals to deliver at 100%, you don’t have enough professionals.

I was trying to distract myself from the sense of loss that comes when it’s dark before 5pm by playing Firewatch, but this is the most depressing game I’ve ever played. I was almost in tears!
Does anyone out there know is #firewatch better on #nintendoswitch or #Steam on a Macbook M1? Is there a difference between the Steam version and the App store version?
I saw someone saying that free time is a capitalist concept, because it's time that exists in relation to capitalist labor, and listen: free time is time in which you can do what you want, and there is no system under which you will not have to do things you don't want to do.
Anybody else still curious who planted the pipe bombs, disabled Mike Pence’s key card, removed the panic button in Ayanna Presley’s office, and shared the locations of non-reinforced Capitol windows?

Covid harm-reduction measures matter.

Even if you don't feel able to take all safety measures all the time, reducing the possibility of transmission when and as you feel able, via masking, ventilation, testing, etc matters.

All or nothing thinking increases everyone's risk.

Doing what you feel you can imperfectly or intermittently , is far better than never doing anything to reduce transmission at all.

@IceCubesApp I seem to be seeing sensitive content even though my settings shouldn’t allow it. In other apps the photos don’t automatically show. Is there something I’m doing wrong here?:
Wow, Duolingo fired their translators to replace them by AI generated content. I thought they cared about language and communication! A lot of their courses are irreplaceable, the languages are not available in any other app and some real native people have made content for some of the endangered languages.

Just rode my new C-Line #Brompton for the first time, and it is surprisingly comfortable and zippy! I thought I would be feeling the road a lot, but it's actually got really good shock absorption. You just bounce.

I was also concerned I would have a steep learning curve on the gears since I'm used to CVTs on both my other bikes, but it was simple having watched a YouTube video on how the gears work.
